<p>Okay, so I'm a freshman at the Ohio State University, and though I'm far from hating it here, I can't say I'm being particularly challenged academically. Stats (took the highest level classes I could without taking pre-req's first- I'm an international student, so the AP stuff didn't really count for me):</p>
<p>1st QUARTER:</p>
<p>-Compulsory Freshman Survey: A
-English 202 : A or A- (final grades not out yet)
-Int'l Studies 201: A
-Music 252: A</p>
<p>Courses I'll be taking next quarter:</p>
<p>-History 508
-Medieval Studies 240
-English 220
-Linguistics 360</p>
<p>Also, I'm the Editor of the English Undergraduate Newsletter, and a member of AID (Association for India's development).</p>
<p>Essays should be good, recs should be fine as well.</p>
<p>High school- great recs, 2100 SAT, decent academics, Editor of school newsletter, co-director of high school musical, co-designed a fashion line, have a book deal (which my lazy behind hasn't got to working on yet....let's just call that a work in progress with a definite offer of publishing when I'm done), blah blah.</p>
<p>I'd applied to Stanford as a freshman and was soundly rejected. Sooo....any chances at all? Or should I just save myself a rejection?</p>
